This depends on the software.
More complex software also installs files in one or more Windows directories and/or addes to the Windows Registry. If this is the case, it is nearly (if not at all) impossible to make a working backup.

Software that installs all files exclusively in one directory can be backed up using the method you suggested (I know mIRC is a program that can work like that), but this doesn’t happen often.
